I can't get my head around Python's logging
module. My needs are very simple: I just want to log everything to syslog. After reading documentation I came up with this simple test script:
import logging
import logging.handlers
my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler()
my_logger.addHandler(handler)
my_logger.debug('this is debug')
my_logger.critical('this is critical')
But this script does not produce any log records in syslog. What's wrong?
Change the line to this:
handler = SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log')
This works for me
import logging
import logging.handlers
my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address = '/dev/log')
my_logger.addHandler(handler)
my_logger.debug('this is debug')
my_logger.critical('this is critical')
